Just finished a definition for deforming meshes with points or curves.
Example of how data tree structure makes it easy to manipulate
geometry with a variable number of attractors/influence points.

No reason the same approach couldn't be used for the control points of
a series of section curves to be lofted, thereby having the same
effect on a nurbs surface - I chose a polygon mesh because I
originally developed these definitions to perform "soft edit" type
manipulations on a mesh of landscape topography.

You could also create a single NURBS surface from a grid of points
but, depending on the resolution of the point grid, some of the detail
would be smoothed over.

Somehow in the months I've been using grasshopper I've never once used
the Surface From Points component, so I had kind of forgotten it
existed - thanks for the suggestion!!
